Nature and its ecosystem services fundamentally underpin economies and societies. Nature is intrinsically connected to our efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change, maintain healthy communities, and support productive, sustainable economies.
Industry collaboration and engagement
We believe collaboration and engagement across industry is essential to sharing learnings and having a successful nature-positive transition. Current and previous examples include:
- Engagement with the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) as a member of the TNFD Forum and through industry groups relating to the finalisation of TNFD recommendations and guidance.
- Member of the Sustainable Markets Initiative’s (SMI) Financial Services Task Force (FSTF), including participation in working groups on the role of private finance in National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs).
Nature action roadmap
These are some of the key nature milestones on our way to achieving our ambition to be a net zero bank by 2050.
